Where to Stay | Atherton Tablelands

Home Where to stay

Find a place to stay, then make yourself at home.

Wake to birdsong in the rainforest, stay beside the water at Lake Tinaroo, settle into a cottage in the country or base yourself in one of the Atherton Tablelands’ towns with cafes, shops and local attractions close by.

Across the Atherton Tablelands, accommodation ranges from caravan parks and camping to holiday houses, cottages, bed and breakfasts, motels, farm stays and resorts. Whether you are planning a weekend away, a family road trip or a longer stay, there are options for different travel styles and budgets.

Choose a base and explore from there, or follow an itinerary and stay in different parts of the region as you travel. If you are bringing your four-legged companion, explore pet-friendly stays, or find RV facilities to help plan your journey.

Stay for a night or make yourself at home for a little longer. With so much to discover across the Atherton Tablelands, an extra day gives you more time to see what is around the next corner.

Camp, caravan or settle in for a while

Travelling with your own set-up gives you plenty of options across the Atherton Tablelands. Caravan parks, campgrounds and holiday parks can be found near towns, lakes and some of the region’s best-known natural attractions.

Choose a powered site or cabin, or find somewhere to camp and spend a few days exploring from one base.

Your own place to stay

A holiday house or cottage gives you a little more space to settle in, whether you are travelling as a couple, with family or with friends. Choose a country property surrounded by farmland, stay close to one of the region’s towns or find somewhere among the rainforest.

With your own space and a little more time, you can explore at your own pace and enjoy quieter moments between days out.

Stay closer to the land

Farm stays offer a different way to experience the Atherton Tablelands, with accommodation surrounded by the farms, animals and landscapes that are part of everyday life in the region.

Settle in, enjoy the space around you and make the property part of your stay rather than simply somewhere to sleep.
